US Air Force Air Education & Training Command

Life in the United States Air Force (USAF) begins with the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) with their mission to “recruit, train and educate Airmen to deliver air power for America”. Often nicknamed ‘The First Command’, over 30,000 students – both domestic and international – train with the 19th Air Force and the many units falling under the command of AETC that include Air Force Recruiting, Air University, Technical Training, Flying Training, Air Force Guard and Air Force Reserve. In total 17 bases across the United States report to AETC, covering almost every aeroplane in the force’s inventory. On January 23, 2017, the AETC celebrated its 75th anniversary, from its humble beginnings as the Air Corps Flight Training Command to becoming the world-renowned system it is known as today. For this article, AeroResource features some of the major bases within the Flying Training Wings (FTW) as well as an exclusive look at the 82d Training Wing (82 TRW) based at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas.
